Brooklyn’s Finest, a crime drama starring Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke and Don Cheadle as three burnt-out cops transformed by the same violent assignment opened in third place with $12 million.

On the fourth place is the Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan action comedy Cop Out with $9 million ticket sales. Followed on fifth place with the ‚ÄúThe Crazies,” a movie about the military’s containment of a man-made virus that causes permanent insanity and death. The film took $7 million in its second weekend.


On number six is the science-fiction epic “Avatar,” the highest-grossing film of all time with more than $2 billion worldwide to date. Completing the list is Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief on number seven, Valentine‚Äôs Day on eighth, Crazy Heart on ninth place and the tear-jerking drama on the 10th place.
